8-bit Washington DC

In: Graphic Design (general) Maps

13 Jul 2010

These maps are very odd. At first, I thought, why bother? Is there really a need for low-res maps based on 1980s video game graphic style? Then I typed in my address and realized how much was really going on. It’s still pretty silly, but it’s an impressive silly – and not everything has to be utilitarian. Available for 10 different cities.

Matthew: I suck and occasionally hit the scroll wheel at the wrong time in my blog software, which removes the link. Fixed now.
